Hakeem ‘Ksoo’ Robinson Pleads Guilty in 2019 ‘Lil Bibby’ Killing, Receives 10-Year Sentence
The case sits within a broader crackdown on the ATK–KTA feud linking rap to street violence.
Overview
- Robinson admitted to second-degree murder in the Feb. 25, 2019 shooting of 16-year-old Adrian “Lil Bibby” Gainer Jr. at Jacksonville’s Hilltop Village apartments and was sentenced Monday to 10 years in prison.
- He is already serving life without parole for the 2020 ambush killing of Charles “Lil Buck” McCormick Jr., a conviction he and co-defendant Leroy Whitaker Jr. plan to appeal.
- Investigators say Gainer was shot at close range and that Robinson later posted social media content mocking the death, evidence prosecutors cited in court.
- Family members and associates received penalties tied to the cases, including a 12-year sentence for Abdul Robinson Jr., time served for Abdul Robinson Sr. after his cooperation, and 25 years for Dominique “Butta” Barner.
- Gainer’s parents sued the apartment complex over security failures, and reporting indicates prosecutors expect additional trials for remaining suspects in related violence.
